    We were in town for an event and always try to find unique places. This is how we ended up at the Cork Bar. The restaurant was exactly as described and the experience was amazing. Our server Rachel was great in making sure we had everything necessary for our dining experience. The food was excellent and priced right. Thank you for a great meal. Next time when we are back in Wilkes-Barre, we will make sure to dine at the Cork Bar Restaurant!

    Where we were seated the AC air blows directly on the table. Freezing, and I am never cold. Second our waitress : Three of us were dining , after our adult son ordered the waitress comes back and tells him they are out of what he wanted. So he was going to get a burger instead, which is on the menu. Then she proceeds to tell us sorry we don’t serve those on the weekend. It’s Friday night. So at this point she asks is there anything I can help you with. I say what do you have available because this would be strike three for ordering. Takes over an hour just to get our salads and the restaurant was not very busy at this point. We have been going here for years and by far the worst experience we have ever had. The food is always wonderful but this visit is making second guessing when we will return.

    Phenomenal! It was my 60th birthday celebration and they made it a memorable one. The food was excellent except for the bruschetta, only because the toast it was on was burnt not toasted and you could smell the burnt bread! Other than that it was fabulous!

    Had the short ribs and lobster and both were amazing! The short ribs were fall-apart tender and packed with flavor, and the lobster was super fresh and buttery. Great vibe and friendly service—definitely a spot I’d come back to.
